(Telecompaper) The European Commission has published a proposed directive on network and information security (NIS) as a key component of a new EU Cybersecurity plan. As proposed, the NIS Directive would require all member states, key internet enablers and critical infrastructure operators (e-commerce platforms, social networks, operators in energy, transport, banking and healthcare) to ensure a secure and trustworthy digital environment throughout the EU. The directive's measures include member states adopting an NIS strategy, designating a competent national authority, creating a cooperation mechanism among member states and the commission to share incident and risk information, and requiring businesses and public administrations to adopt risk management practices and report major security incidents. European telecom operators' association ETNO welcomed the proposed NIS Directive. EC vice president Catherine Ashton said: "Fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law need to be protected in cyberspace. The EU works with its international partners as well as civil society and the private sector to promote these rights globally".
